Gentle Devouring

[A short, sweet story. Thank you to everyone who supports the official release 0v0] [1] Yu Chiran had an engagement that made every woman jealous. Her fiancé was the heir to the Fu family: distinguished, elegant, handsome, and impeccably raised. He was so perfect he hardly seemed real. His only flaw was that he didn't love her. Yu Chiran did her best to play the perfect fiancée, but she could never melt that block of ice. Three months after they registered their marriage, a car accident made Yu Chiran see the light. At last, she signed the divorce papers. She swore she would never again have anything to do with the Fu family. "My brother really has gone too far." Xie Feiyu sat beside her hospital bed, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He peeled an apple for Yu Chiran himself, his voice gentle. "If it were me, I would never let my sister-in-law suffer so much." [2] Ever since he was born, Xie Feiyu had been someone the Fu family never wanted. After a sudden upheaval, the name Xie Feiyu became almost taboo among the upper classes of Nancheng. Everyone who had ever mocked him now held their tongues in fear. At a banquet, Xie Feiyu had an arm around Yu Chiran's waist, pinning her in a corner. A certain ex watched from the shadows, so jealous he was nearly mad. Xie Feiyu remained utterly unruffled. Holding Yu Chiran's hand, he took off his glasses and coaxed her in a low voice, like a serpent in the Garden of Eden. "Kiss me." [3] Xie Feiyu thought his arrogant, haughty, overbearing stepbrother was utterly detestable. His one redeeming quality... Xie Feiyu's gaze fell on the rose-like, radiant face of the woman resting in the crook of his arm. He smiled with pleasure. ...was that he was blind. - In the long, dark night, you are the tenderness I would stake everything on. - Please devour me. ※ Coming soon: Spring Breeze Without a Hint of Fragrance ※ [Blurb] [1] Jiang Youlü, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is a pretty but useless airhead. Spoiled and flamboyant, arrogant and overbearing, she has made enemies everywhere. The most famous of them is the popular Best Actor, Li Ran. No one dares say a word, because she has a fiancé nobody would dare offend. But at a welcome banquet for the second daughter of the Jiang family, Gu Yanming looked at Jiang Er with eyes full of restrained longing. Five years of love, and she had been a stand-in for all five. Jiang Youlü couldn't believe it. She smashed her glass and left on the spot. [2] Having offended the Gu family and lost the Jiang family's support, she had countless people waiting to laugh at her misfortune. In the pouring rain, Jiang Youlü crouched by the roadside, miserable and with nowhere to go. Suddenly, a black umbrella appeared over her head. "Miss Jiang, would you like to come home with me?" His tone was flippant, with a hint of careless malice. Jiang Youlü looked up. It was the Best Actor Li Ran, the man she was always rumored to bully. "...Fine, I'll go!" Jiang Youlü said, putting on a brave face. "Who's afraid of you?!" A soft chuckle escaped Li Ran's throat. He was laughing at her for walking right into his trap. [3] A few months later, her ex-fiancé regretted everything and started pursuing Jiang Youlü like a madman. On set, Li Ran leaned in and kissed her deeply, ignoring the furious gaze of the man behind him. With all eyes on them, the moment was captured and became a movie poster. He kissed her, letting the whole world know. * When he was young, Li Ran always had a dream. In it, someone was like a spring breeze, carefree and radiant, impossible to pin down. Now, he wanted to make the wind his own. Weibo: Shen Xian Bao Bei Pai Da Xing Theme: Hold fast to independent values and appreciate the beauty of life
